Description

In this issue https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/issues/4219 you said it would be nice to show licences and a link to hexdiff when doing gleam deps list. So I opened a separate issue for that. Do you have any ideas on how these information could be presented?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing `gleam deps list` command output and the data structure for package dependencies; explore how licenses are stored in gleam.toml or lock files; discuss possible presentation formats (e.g., table with license column).
